SCIENCE+BOWL

**2010 Washington Middle School SCIENCE BOWL TEAMS**
Our school will have two teams of five students participate against 13 other teams from the State of MD in the U.S. Department of Energy's National Science Bowl. The competition consists of a quiz bowl type competition as well as a solar car sprint competition.

Washington Middle Science Bowl participants have been meeting once a week since October to prepare for the competition. They are preparing by reading/studying/reviewing earth, life, physical, and general science concepts as well as math. We received the rules for the solar car competition on 01/07/10 and we will begin building a car for each of our two teams the week of January 18th.

01/19/10 - The teams spent a couple of hours today planning the construction of their solar powered cars. One of the teams is going to try to construct their car out of carbon fiber material and the other group is going to use balsa wood. Construction photos will be added shortly.

01/12/10 - Science Bowl participants stayed after school today to dissect preserved leopard frogs. The students enjoyed the lesson as you can see from the photos below.
